Official Holiday Valley / Kissing Bridge Thread

steezyjibberWord. Clarkson? Plattsburgh? Neither?

ABallsI think I'm heading up that way for college, will probably be riding whiteface as the regular mountain.

@SonofAnder holiday has a vibe, you don't ride there so you probably shouldn't comment, I think I'll be at peak on Sunday so I can properly assess the killer park vibe you guys have. I won't be backflipping every other jump so I probably won't fit in and will be easily recognizable, say wassup.

SonOfAnderSbarkrm, you should just not post stuff if its gonna be completely random and not make any sense. Confused the hell outa me.

Moose and Balls, learn to take a joke. The music was weird, you can't deny that. The HATerZ, or one guy saying the song was weird, aren't hating on your riding. Your other edit was funky too, not everyone is gonna love them. You guys act like someone told you you can't ski for shit.

Once again Holiday has no vibe. PK2 for lyfe.

moosevision1) Holiday has a vibe just one that doesn't involve having to constantly try and prove that it's better. Like seriously what did Aballs responding to "constructive criticizam" have to do with HV vs Peek? Peek has better parks yet Holiday has the vibe!! The skiers there actually get it so don't come at HV if you don't even ride there you kook. We're welcoming and have nothing to prove. Whenever I'm at Peek I feel quite unwanted, or like everyone's trying to 1up me. Plus we would rather have that peek huck and chuck mentality out of our parks anyways. (Pk2Sterotype) #42/78UntilMooseGetsMoneyToMove #Backflips #SomewhatJoking

2) I expected more hate on that edit, funky editing/ skiing is my thing and I totally realize that not everyone can get down with that, but it does seem like anything I put out, ANYTHING gets hated on by you dudes. Idk sorry we took it the wrong way but I mean nobody said my song was weird they said it took four years off their life... Kinda harsh but I'll admit we overreacted maybe sorta kinda a bit.

3) if you were kidding about HV not having a vibe sorry I blew up on ya but don't come at my home mountain like that cause I love that damn place a lot. HV is the shit because of the people not the parks. Come shred some time you'll see, the homies are a blast!

MinggPeak has a really good park but everyone I have met there has a stick up their ass. Id rather ride a not so good park than have to deal with assholes the whole day. Sorry peek.

ABallsOk here it is, I didn't realize this before. The only reason that there is ever hate between peek and HV on newschoolers is because of who represents peek here. All the skiers today, even son of ander (who is nicks little brother) was cool to me. The only person who was a fucking dick and didn't even accept the apology when I approached him was Nick. I didn't expect much from him though.

So there it is, peek kids are cool aside from Nick Anderson. Oh and peeks park was pretty good, jumps weren't great but they didn't have much room to work with so they weren't bad.

SkierGuyNickIf you want to learn how to backflip I can show ya, king

Chubz.You know youre my dude, nick..but thats a really immature way to act towards people.

And youre representing peek n peak in all the wrong ways..actually, everyone in here aside from me is making a bad name for pknpk.


Ive been trying to promote peek n peak on here for the last few years and try to persuade skiers from HV to come ski here so i can actually develop a ski scene that can attract people to come ski the parks.


I wish i could have made it up to peek today so i couldve skied with austin and have a great time..really wish i could have made a better impression of peek..

Chubz.Holiday valley has a strong ski scene. Peek n peak is ran by snowboarders. But theyre all my good homies so its not that big of a deal..although I would love peek n peak to have something like what HV has.

Van Boiz looks like such an awesome group. I would have killed to have something like that at peek n peak when i was in high school. I wouldnt say its the vibe of holiday, because i dont really feel anything while im there, i think they just have a bigger freeski scene.

But instead of hating on each other we should all just get a long and embrace WNY's park skiing as one. /ghandipost

Honestly van boiz is the only thing come out of this area that i enjoy watching since the old ECOD edits. Keep doing what you guys are doing because im loving every bit of it.

moosevisionDayum we gotta get you in the van! The BOIZ appreciate that a lot dude haha. If you ever hit up HV again this year let us know. Or come out for a spring sesh after close we usually shred into late May.

moosevisionHaha for real dude I hope
you didn't take that seriously.... I even said sarcasm so you'd know! I admitted we over reacted, admitted that peak has better parks, said the backflip thing was a sterotype and told you my honest opinion of the vibe I get at peek and that's 100% how I feel when I'm there. I really just don't get why aballs response warranted a total call out of the "vibe" at HV when nobody had said a word about peak before that. And yes the peak snowboarders swept a jam at HV. They fucking kill it, that Rico kid, still trying to figure out how he's not at least flow for someone. Shit he should have won RedBull all snow too! Thing about those dudes is they don't come to HV and call out how shitty it is or treat us like outsiders when we go to peek. They're the nicest dudes! As far as the general vibe I get from the skiers at peak I just felt like they all
hated us HV kids, even before this whole argument.

Hope we can all move on lol. Everyones overreacting about this, myself included.

SkierGuyNickNah man I was kidding dude. I've been saying for years we all need to make a WNY skiing edit, including urban. And Chubz man, just because someone has on 2 planks does't mean I have to be your best friend. I didn't really say anything to the kid at all. Don't know him skiing, or real life so whats it really matter? We are all shy and clique. I think thats what it really comes down to. I really don't think I was a dick at all Aballs. Don't even call me out like that. Everyone was sending massive trains later and we wanted to add in Austin (Aballs name?) to the train but could never catch him.

I don't think anyone had gone through anything close to what I did last season and I was blessed to even be able to ski this year, especially riding park and landing a few new jibs.

SonOfAnderJust so you guys know, sure we weren't all that hyped to see you at first Austin. But 2 runs after he chilled out Nick came up with the idea to get you in on the trains we were sending with the rest of the ski crew. The lift timing was terrible and you had your music in so we could never get your attention. But anyways Chubz, it was a fun ass day, and everyone represented Peak in the best way possible. If anyone was riding yesterday and didn't realize what Peak is about after they day was over, they're blind. I've by far met some of the best people there. If you still choose to hate, that's your choice, but if you actually meet and talk to the people there you'll realize how chill and fun it really is. Have a good offseason everyone, hopefully I'll see ya'll at Peak once next winter rolls around.

ABallsAye good looks, sorry I didn't realize you were trying to get my attention. Once I get De La Soul going it's tough to reach me, ask Mikey he fucking hates when I listen to music. We good dudes.

Now that that's over... What the fuck is up with KB

moosevisionI feel like KB is dying, as a business. The kids at KB are all super chilll, the place just keeps getting more and more run down/ out of date. They absolutely blew it by moving the park, worst decision they ever made. Not to mention it takes them forever to even get open.

HV making power moves tho another 4million in improvements going down over summer

ABallsYa and probably not a dollar spent on the damn park

ABallsYa and probably not a dollar spent on the damn park

SkierGuyNickYou from the Buffalo area? I'm at UB and for me the rides about the same to Peek /HV. an hour and a half?

jlens05Yo do you have to get permission to hike up and set stuff up? Or do they not care?

jlens05Moving the park was defenitely a terrible decision, and they refuse to move it
back. idk where all the money goes that they take in but it certainly doesn't go into making the resort better (especially the park). I've got a ton of days there this year and have only seen park crew doing anything at all maybe 5 times. I'm spending the extra money and buying a full seasons to HV next year for sure. Kb just refuses to listen to what the people want. But honestly the setup they had for get a heart on was super dope, it shows the potential of what they could've done. End of my rant

MinggThe park move was justified. Their reasoning behind it was definitely pretty solid in my opinion. It sucks for park skiers but as a business/resort it made a lot of sense.

1. The terrain where park used to be(world & devils funnel) were determined to be too good of terrain to keep a park there.

2. Having the park over there delayed opening park. They would need to make snow not only on that run but also on the shuttle getting over there and the trail back. So by moving it to twister they would be able to open it faster.

3. They would have had to run world all the time. And I'm pretty sure we only ran it about 20-30ish days, mostly weekends. At the beginning of the season they didn't have enough lifties to run all the lifts. (Drug tests scared people from coming back)

4. They wanted to get all the parks and freestyle things closer together. The mini park, twister, and the airbag were all there to unify the parks. Having twister, the mini park on coal, and main park wasn't cutting it for them I suppose.


I don't really like what they did from a riders point of view. They had a good idea, but it just didn't work out.

I see park crew around all the time though. When I work a day shift(about 6-8 hours) they'll head up about 3-5 times to rake and stuff. They do more maintenance than they have in the past, that is for sure. I didn't really like the set up too much this year though. There was sooooo much space that they could have utilized(area next to the first jump). They could have gotten a few more features in over there for sure.

jlens05Are you the lifty who saved me from getting my pass pulled?

moosevisionRumor has it foxfire is getting canned and moved to Morningstar as well as fiddlers becoming less restricted for next year. Sounds sick to me!

MinggI wish. That woulda been rad. What did you do to almost get your pass pulled?

jlens05I lost my seasons and after I bought a new one (for 50 bucks. Fuck kb) I was like jibing the deck outside of the smoke house and some dude came running after me and some lifty chick yelled "don't pull his pass he just got it back" and he didn't pull it he just yelled at me. That lifty knew what was good in the hood. That was the condensed version of the story lol

MinggAhahaha that's a stupid reason to get your pass pulled. Did you know KB watch, ski patrol, and lifty's don't have the authority to pull your pass? Don't give it to any of them if they ask. Best thing to do if you're confronted is not say who you are and just leave. They can't do anything about it.

jlens05I feel like ski patrol or kb watch can take your pass. Why would they?

MinggIt's actually the office people, ski ops, and other supervisors who have the authority to pull a pass. All lifties, ski patrol, and kb watch can do is report it. Idk why they'd pull a pass. A bunch of reasons but I think you really need to fuck up to get in trouble like that.

moosevisionYeah I'm from North Tonawanda, like 15 mins outside Buffalo. Peak is a tad bit father I thought, maybe I'm wrong. When does Peak plan to close?




Nope they don't care at all, we will prolly hike to fiddlers, drag some rails out and set them up there.

SkierGuyNickThe parks shutdown this past Sunday which I don't understand at all. It would be ridable through April. Maybe a money thing idk. The park crew said they are keeping the upper rail section open to hike though.

moosevisionanybody know holidays official closing date?

Well with Morningstar as a park it's gonna be a less traffic hill anyways, so with the high speed lift it should be fine. Especially cause it sounds like Holiday is going to require a park pass for next season which will limit the traffic to anyone who takes a park etiquette test.

As of now they close April 5th, but I'd be willing to bet they extend that a week. Every year they say we're gonna close this day and then end up extending it a week haha. Luckily foxfire should stay open til the 5th at least, so we will have a park to lap. HV has a crap ton of snow still so there's gonna be plenty of post season hiking to do.
